i am living with my relative with stay just next house to mine. can i know if wifi powerline work so that i can extend my wifi to his house?
there is also another product wifi extender in the market. may i know which work the best in this situation, wifi powerline or wifi extender?

Was just about to buy the Asus GT-5300 but the Asus seller recommend to go for the Asus GT-Ax11000. Anyone here already bought it? Hows the performance?

hi guys, looking to get a new router. Should I get the Tenda AC18 or the newer TP-Link Archer A6 ?  I'm on Unifi Turbo 300 Mbps btw. Looking for a stable connection and good WIFI speed. Terrace house.

Thanks in advance.
p.s.  btw I have read the Green texts in page 1.   

Tagging blacktubi for his opinion.

Anyone with ASUS RT-AC86U have this problem?

In the logs I get that message and then the router hangs completely for a whole 5 minutes and then rebooting it self.


Mine is brand new China version and I have also auto updated the firmware to the latest.

I have about 20-30 clients using it simultaneously.

May i know what DNS is the fastest for internet browsing? Cloudflare, Google or just use the default DNS?

What's buffer overloaded and what can cause it?
What device can spam the router with DNS query? Is it skype or torrent?
All the devices connected are iPhones, Androids, Macbooks, Laptops, Desktops (Ubuntu/Windows), Sony Android TV and Canon WiFi Printer.

I'm already using manual DNS for LAN but you can only change primary one and not secondary
[attachmentid=10195221]
the router sends secondary DNS as it's self
[attachmentid=10195225]

and WAN DNS is
[attachmentid=10195222]

hi guys i need some help, i searched internet but i think i need the answers for my situation

my plan : UNIFI 100mbps
house : 3 storeys
PC location : 2nd floor

setup
Router at 1st floor : UNIFI D LINK Router (AC1200)
Extender at 2nd Floor : Tp Link RE450  (AC1750 )

After asking UNIFI technician to come, he replaced my Tp LINK C9 router with UNIFI's own DLINK AC 1200 router. I used my iPhone X to connect and it shows 100mbps speedtest , exactly the speed i subscribed

In the second floor my room , i just build a new PC. its a MSI gaming motherboard that comes with a build in wireless AC receive capable of 433mbps. (Specification Page - Intel Wireless AC receiver model 9462 )

the problem is , my PC is connected to the TP LINK extender RE450 , i run speedtest i got like max 50mbps, average 35-40mbps speed

i sit in front of my PC, i use my phone connect to the same extender, i got close to 100 mbps speed, exactly the speed i subscirbed to

so whats the problem ? my build in receiver of motherboard capable of 433mbps but only gets 35mbps ...
initially the technician said the extender might have speed loss, but my phone connected to it no problem it still gives 90-100mbps
what do i need to do ?

thanks in advance

finally pulling a CAT6A cable yesterday from upstair to downstair. Tested the network speed using iperf3 managed to get closed to 1Gbps speed....

But then using tm speedo meter and speedtest.net only can get 500-600mbps download....

Already made a report to TM.....

Iperf3 test result
[attachmentid=10204907]

TM speedtest
[attachmentid=10204908]

I'm using Asus RT-AC5300, definitely tested before when upgraded to 800mbps it able to reach the speed. Now speed is not consistent, sometime reach 500mbps... sometime reach 600mbps... the max reached 700mbps when tested with different server.

Guys , I'm having a weird situation with my connection. Having Unifi 800mbps connection,  using Asus rt 55uhp with my Huawei btu.both are placed on 1st floor.. Able to clock full speed on my desktop which is co , nnected via cat 7 cable ..my sharp Android TV  which supports AC wifi , able to clock 115 - 120 Mbps when perform speed test.  Netflix on my TV  is playing fine..it require around 10 seconds max to load the full quality.... 

My other streaming apps like hotstar and Kodi do buffers  a little ..

So I'm thinking if I should upgrade to a better router or 100 + Mbps is good enough for the streaming..

Need your input on this..

Btw I tested the same apps using my OnePlus 6t hotspot.. Android TV connected to OnePlus 6t hotspot , I noticed the performance is slight better

TV lan port is fast ethernet..

while wifi is AC.. so i stick to wifi. but there is a usb 3 port. im not sure if android tv support external wifi dongle .

What kind of testing is this...

1 large file (1.6GB) vs 2 large files (2.8GB), all other WIFI stds have similar results except for 5GHz AX?
9.06 vs 9.04, 32.18 vs 31.37, 17.39 vs 17.02, but 5GHz AX 90.32 vs 66.67

The fastest 5GHz AC result is a paltry 36.36MB/s or 290.88Mbit/s. Come on. I can get 300Mbit/s at the very least 1 floor down with a cheap TP-Link and iPhone 8 all day everyday.

Reading data from the phone vs Writing data from the phone, all other results have changes except for 5GHz AX @ 90.32MB/s?

how is this TP link compared with DIR-825+?

Between Dlink Dir-882 and TP Link 3150 which one is better?

in terms of wifi 5G coverage and Software control..? tq

Could you suggest me what I should get as mentioned above?

Hi gurus. Just need to pick your brains on certain things. The scenario:

- currently on the 30mbps plan using standard equipment that came from TM
- 1,000 sq ft standard condominium i.e. 3 room + 2 bath, concrete walls, etc.
- wireless router currently in the living room next to TV and entertainment equipment

My PC is situated in the middle room and bedroom is in the further most room. I noticed that sometimes I face trouble streaming Netflix/Youtube on my PC although the wifi bar on the PC is full or close to full.

Also, wifi signal not strong in the bedroom which is furthest from the router.

My question is, what's the best way to improve coverage in my modest home? Mesh network or a more powerful router?

Appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Thanks for your replies. I guess I'm resigned to the fact that I'll have to invest in a mesh network even though my home is tiny by comparison.

I've had experience with the Deco M9 and have only good things to say about it, but that was for my parents home with 100mbps Maxis. For my more modest 30mbps, would the M5 or M4 be better?

seem like unifi give up highrise vdsl to webe especially for klang valley

https://nexlife.com.my

RM100 for UNLIMITED 20Mbps HOME INTERNET & MOBILE 4G LTE

if the coverage as par as unifi mobile, it;s will be excellent product

curious why TM won't let use that?

I have no idea. 

I was browsing websites so syiok until my sister suddenly came over and ask why others can online while she can't. Turned out her smartphone is configured to use cloudflare dns. Can't ping successfully through pc and router internal pinging tool.

I rebooted the router (yes, my new A6 router, sure boot-up fast) several times with different public IPv4 address while checking the routing (4 routes) until I posted here.
Then on the latest reboot, the routing tables become 3 routes and cloudflare is pingable again.
I wonder what TM did?

Is there anyway to test out the LAN cable whether it has maximum speed?

Just want to prevent contractor provide non-ori cable

but if you refer to the below,  ARCHER C1200 , RG D-Link DIR 850L and RG DLINK DIR-842 except  RG TP-LINK ARCHER C5v2 are listed as supporting 300mbps
which is my current turbo

Anyone else use UPS* on their BTU & wireless router beside me?
